Means they can either use the cell towers to triangulate the position of the handset, which works better as more towers become visible. Or they have an actual GPS receiver in the handset that may or may not be usable by the handset owner with or without a 'GPS feature' enabling subscription. The telco policy of nickel-and-dimeing for every little feature is very irritating, including how they handle data and SMS.

What does that mean.

They relay GPS location to the fire department/cops?

I can see a double standard here. Anyone else?

I'd like to know how it is that they can provide e911 for their voip offering?

Last I heard, a voip call was required to have e911. Like to know how they are going to pull their roaming wifi voip off without saying, it's cell phone service even though it's wifi voip.

Very serious issue here.
